On this morning, the people who came to hear the trial were crowded in front of the yamen of Jiujiang Mansion, buzzing and discussing, secretly speculating about the outcome of the trial. (8) (1) (Chinese) (text) (net) | (8).8(8)1(a)Z(中)(文).C O M

Out of resentment for the Chen family's evil township, as well as sympathy for the weak, the people who came to hear the trial all hoped that Zhang Laohan would succeed, so that the evil Chen Ergongzi would be punished as he deserved.

Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were mixed in the crowd and watched the excitement, surrounded by the escort group, talking and laughing there in a low voice, waiting for the start of the court trial.

At the beginning of the hour, the closed door of the government slowly opened, and the people gathered outside the door suddenly crowded in, scrambling one by one, for fear of missing today's good show.

Under the opening of the way of the guards, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin easily came to the front of the lobby and occupied a powerful hearing position in the middle of the third or fourth row of the crowd.

The reason why he didn't choose the first row was naturally to prevent being recognized by Lu Xiaoming, which would affect Lu Xiaoming's trial.

This matter, the back hall of the government office.

"How's it going, is the scholar here?"

Lu Xiaoming, who was wearing an official uniform, was pacing back and forth in the room restlessly with his hands behind his back, and the door creaked open, and a tall thin man walked in, so he stopped and asked with concern.

Today is a court trial, and since Li Hongyu is concerned about this case, he is likely to come to hear the trial in person, so he is anxiously waiting for Li Hongyu's arrival.

"Master, the university scholar didn't come, and now it's almost time to ascend to the hall, so it's time for the master to go to the lobby." The tall and thin man bowed down when he heard the words and spoke.

This made Lu Xiaoming's face flash a look of disappointment, he had been preparing for today's court trial for a long time, and wanted to behave well in front of Li Hongyu, if he could get Li Hongyu's appreciation, his career would be achieved.

Subsequently, Lu Xiaoming tidied up the official uniform on his body and went to the lobby with a serious expression, even if Li Hongyu did not come today, he would try the case well and handle the things that Li Hongyu confessed.

Lu Xiaoming thought that if Li Hongyu came to Jiujiang City, he would definitely come to the yamen to find him, and then he arranged a hearing for Li Hongyu, but he would not have thought that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin would be heard outside the hall with the people, which was not in line with Li Hongyu's identity and status.

With the arrival of Lu Xiaoming, the trial officially began, and the people chattering outside the hall gradually quieted down, one by one tiptoeing, stretching their necks, and looking at Lu Xiaoming who was sitting behind the desk in the lobby.

"Someone, take the plaintiff!" Lu Xiaoming took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly.

"Mighty!" The station guards on both sides of the lobby shouted in a low voice while rhythmically pounding the water and fire sticks in their hands.

Zhang Laohan was soon taken to the court by the servants, knelt in front of the hall with some nervousness, and emotionally accused Chen Ergongzi of his evil deeds.

After Zhang Laohan told his grievances, Lu Xiaoming summoned Chen Ergongzi and related witnesses to the lobby one after another, Chen Ergongzi of course denied the crime, and the testimony of those witnesses also showed that the death of the Zhang family had nothing to do with Chen Ergongzi.

This made Chen Ergongzi's face couldn't help but show a smug look, and he looked at Zhang Laohan with disdain, why did this clay leg who had no money and no power fight with him, and the Chen family could find as many witnesses as they wanted.

Besides, three or four years have passed since the Zhang family's case, and the second son of Chen doesn't believe that Lu Xiaoming can find out the case clearly, and he also knows about Lu Xiaoming's acceptance of the Chen family's benefits from Steward Chen, so he naturally has nothing to fear.

Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin watched the scene of the birth in the lobby with cold eyes, and when they saw Chen Ergongzi's proud appearance, they secretly shook their heads in their hearts, this gentleman who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun didn't realize that a catastrophe was coming.

In the eyes of the two, Zhang Laohan's case is very simple, and there are too many flaws in it for Lu Xiaoming to overturn the case, but I don't know if Lu Xiaoming can show it.

"Boss, Boss Zhang's body was autopsied by you?" After waiting for the confession to be completed, Lu Xiaoming's brows furrowed, and then he picked up a confession in front of him and asked in a deep voice to the servant kneeling in front of the hall, "Did Boss Zhang really die of a violent illness?" ”

Hearing this, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin couldn't help but smile at each other, it seems that Lu Xiaoming has found a breakthrough in this case, and the next interrogation will be much simpler.

"Back to the prefect's lord, Boss Zhang was indeed a villain's autopsy, and he did die of a violent illness." His body trembled for a moment, and he replied with a somewhat flustered expression.

"This official asked you, can you check it clearly?" The corners of Lu Xiaoming's mouth couldn't help but flash a sneer, and he looked at him quietly.

"The prefect, the villain has investigated carefully, and Boss Zhang is unharmed, but he did die of a violent illness." Hearing this, he hurriedly replied, but his face became a little pale, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, making him look very nervous.

"How can you be safe? The boss of the Zhang family was beaten all over his body at that time! ”

"Violent illness? I could see the body of the boss of the Zhang family, who was beaten to a human shape. ”

"I was there at the time, and the second son can say that if you want those dogs to kill the boss of the Zhang family, those people are really ruthless!"

"He must have accepted the benefits of the Chen family, otherwise he would not have done such a conscientious thing."

"The Chen family's wealth is very powerful, how can the Zhang family be the opponent of the Chen family, in my opinion, the original verdict will definitely be upheld in this case."

……

With a bang, the people who were hearing the trial outside the hall suddenly became commotion, talking nonsense, and they all thought that the pretendence had lied, which made the pretend's face even more ugly.

"Silence!"

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoming slapped the shocked wood hard, and then asked in a deep voice, "This official gives you one last chance, do you have anything to say to this official about the autopsy of the boss of the Zhang family?" ”

"Back to the prefect's lord, what the villain said before is true, I hope the lord will see it." Hearing this, he couldn't help but glance at the second son of Chen who was standing aside, then gritted his teeth and replied with his head touching the ground.

"Do you have anything to say to this officer?" Then, Lu Xiaoming looked at the rest of the witnesses and asked with a serious expression.

Those witnesses glanced at each other, and then lowered their heads one after another, how could they dare to go against the Chen family? This made the look on Chen Ergongzi's face even more proud, thinking that he would soon be able to end the court trial and return his "innocence".

"In that case, let's sign it." Lu Xiaoming had already guessed this situation, so he waved his hand to the document that was taking notes behind the desk on the side of the hall, and the clerk immediately took a stack of already written confessions in his hand and asked Zhang Laohan, Chen Ergongzi and all the witnesses to sign and draw them.

"Alas!" Seeing this, there was a sigh of disappointment from the crowd outside the court, and they all thought that the case was over.

Taking advantage of the fact that Zhang Laohan and others signed and detained, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin whispered a few words and then walked towards the outside of the mansion, because the case would end later, and there was no need for the two to stay.

However, it is only that today's court trial is over, and the Zhang family's unjust case has only just begun.

"The prefect, the villain is wronged, they are all bought by the Chen family, I hope the lord will call the shots for the villain!"

After all the people involved in the case signed the confession, Lu Xiaoming picked up the confession and confirmed it one by one, at this time, Zhang Laohan, who was kneeling in front of the hall, knew that this was the last chance to overturn the case in his life, so he cried to Lu Xiaoming while kowtowing.

"Zhang Laohan, since this official has been promoted to the court to try the case this time, it will definitely convince you."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoming put down the confession in his hand, looked at Zhang Laohan with a serious expression and said, "Zhang Laohan, you said that your eldest son was beaten to death, but the autopsy was violently ill and died, and there was no sign of being beaten. ”

"However, it's not that the official has no way to find out the truth of the facts, but I don't know if you are willing to let the official do this!" As he spoke, Lu Xiaoming's words turned around and said unexpectedly.

"Willing, willing, as long as you can avenge the villain, the villain is willing to do anything." Zhang Laohan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded his head again and again, he has nothing to do now, what can't he do?

Airplanes!

Seeing this situation, the people who were hearing the trial outside the hall suddenly had a commotion, and their faces showed suspicious looks, and everyone thought that the case would be closed like this, but Lu Xiaoming had something to do, which was very surprising.

"Humph!" Chen Ergongzi couldn't help but sneer, and looked at Zhang Laohan with disdain, anyway, he already knew that Lu Xiaoming would let him go, so he thought that everything was just Lu Xiaoming's play.

"Zhang Laohan, in that case, would you like to open the coffin for an autopsy to check whether your eldest son was injured before his death?" Lu Xiaoming had long known that Zhang Laohan would agree, so he asked after a deep groan.

"Open coffin autopsy?" Zhang Laohan was slightly stunned when he heard this, he never expected Lu Xiaoming to make such a request.

"The boss of the Zhang family has been dead for more than three years, and his body has already turned into white bones, how can this detect the injury?" The people outside the hall who were listening to the trial couldn't help but burst into discussion when they heard this, and they were extremely surprised by this.

"Zhang Laohan, although your eldest son has now turned into white bones, if he was indeed beaten enough to be fatal before his death, then there must be a break on his bones, so as long as you open the coffin and check whether those bones are intact, you can know whether he was beaten before his death."

Lu Xiaoming naturally heard the discussion of the people outside the hall, a smug smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, and then said to Zhang Laohan in a deep voice, "Therefore, are you willing to open the coffin for an autopsy?" ”

"The villain is willing, the villain is willing, the villain's eldest son was beaten and injured, and there must be a lot of broken bones on his body, please see it."

At this time, the stunned Zhang Laohan finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly nodded to Lu Xiaoming, looking a little excited, so that the cause of the death of the boss of the Zhang family could be ascertained, and the lie would be self-defeating.

"Huh?"

The face of the second son of the Chen family showed a look of surprise, and he looked at Lu Xiaoming a little blankly, he originally thought that the court trial was about to end, who would have thought that Lu Xiaoming would make such a whole thing again, didn't he know that the opening of the coffin and the autopsy was extremely unfavorable to him?

"Tomorrow at noon, I will go to the Zhangjia cemetery to open the coffin for an autopsy to distinguish the authenticity."

When Lu Xiaoming heard this, he immediately stood up, glanced at the second son of the Chen family who was standing there with a blank look on his face, and then said loudly, "Retreat!" ”

Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Lu Xiaoming walked out of the court, leaving only the people who were listening to the trial and whispered there excitedly.

Everyone originally thought that the case would end uneventfully, but no one expected such a thing, and the case became more and more interesting at this point.

"My lord, my lord, why do you want to open the coffin, this is different from what I said in advance!"

It wasn't until two messengers came forward to hold the second son of the Chen family and take him back that the second son of the Chen family, who was stunned, came back to his senses, and couldn't help shouting at Lu Xiaoming's distant back, and his expression became flustered.

"Stupid!" Lu Xiaoming heard the words of the second son of the Chen family, his brows furrowed slightly, and two words burst out coldly at the corner of his mouth, if he pierced this layer of window paper in the hall, it would be even more unfavorable to him, how could Master Chen give birth to such a stupid loser!
